History
The school was founded in 1905 as a boys-only institution and has shaped Wismar's cityscape ever since. During the East German period it operated as a polytechnic school before returning to a standard gymnasium format after 1990.

The school bears the name of German writer Gerhart Hauptmann, whose works remain taught in classrooms across the German-speaking world. The name ties the building to regional literary history and connects it with local cultural memory.
Practical
The school building sits centrally in Wismar on Dahlmannstraße and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should know that this is an active school in daily operation, so access may be limited during teaching hours.
Did you know?
The building holds official heritage monument status in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and retains original structural features from its 1905 construction. Despite serving today as a school for roughly 930 students, the red-brick facade and neo-Gothic forms have survived more than a century largely unchanged.
